Ready for a really satisfying art activity for older kids? This squeegee method will create vibrant and eye-catching designs that are brilliant fun to make together. 

How to do it

1. Lay out your newspaper or plastic sheet to protect surfaces. 
2. Make sure your white paper is secure and won’t slip around. 
3. Squeeze colourful dots of paint onto your paper in any pattern or arrangement you like. 
4. Grab your squeegee and rest the rubber edge at the top of the paper. 
5. Carefully pull the squeegee towards you along the paper, using only very light pressure. If you want, you can create bendy shapes and zigzags as you go. 
6. Watch as the paint is dragged along the surface and a bright and colourful abstract design is created! 
7. Leave your amazing work to dry. 

If you want to repeat the process with the same squeegee, be sure to wash it thoroughly in warm, soapy water – or the last colours you used will mix with the new ones.
